The gargantuan agency swallowed up the FBI, CIA, and Coast Guard while creating a new bastard child: the Transporatation Security Agency.

What began as an attempt to increase protection has become America’s modern version of the old NaziGestapo.

Comparing the Department of Homeland Security to the loathed Nazi security police is not too much of a stretch.

The DHS is preparing to implement plans to track all American citizens. Homeland Security is gearing up to install manned security checkpoints at bus depots and in train stations, sports stadiums, and hotels, and shopping malls.

They also intend to deploy surveillance drones across America’s cities and farmland, and surreptitiously scan motorists on the roads to determine if the drivers and passengers somehow fit terrorist profiles only the unseen “authorities” know.

Test programs are activating smart cameras using artificial intelligence scripts to scan faces in crowds and determine if an individual is a “person of interest” to the nameless, faceless authorities.

Some in the FBI are now suggesting that even people’s tattoos be registered.

Worse, “mind reading helmets” are being developed to analyze and predict any person who may be suspected of illegal activities by the State. Who are the suspects? Chances are, you’ll be one of them.

Hidden scanners will be everywhere

According to gizmodo.com, “Within the next year or two, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security will instantly know everything about your body, clothes, and luggage with a new laser-based molecular scanner fired from 164 feet (50 meters) away.” [Hidden Government Scanners Will Instantly Know Everything About You From 164 Feet Away]

State security with Superman’s X-ray powers

The Department of Homeland Security. Even the name has a fascist ring to it.

America’s Big Brother government has truly arrived and it’s worse than George Orwell ever imagined.

After the DHS assimilated FEMA, they jointly published a new manual outlining how to contain, detain, and constrain Americans during any type of national emergency that runs the gamut from a nuclear attack to the president stubbing his toe.

bravery under fire

A brave American patriot, Steven L Anderson, took it upon himself to challenge the unConstitutionality of the creeping and expanding powers of Homeland Security that, left unchecked, may do more than swallow up intelligence and law enforcement. It may eventually swallow up most of America and along the way individual liberty.

DHS security forces have already started expanding like a metastasizing cancer across the states. Special security forces designated as Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response teams (VIPR) now occupy many cities. They’ve expanded operations from airport security to train stations, bus depots, major highways, even street corners.

TSA VIPR security road checkpoints have been reported in California, Florida, Tennessee, and Texas. In the coming years, DHS has big plans to roll out roaming VIPR checkpoints across all of the 48 contiguous states. These ground checkpoints will be augmented by aerial surveillance.

achieving Adolf Htler’s dream: total population surveillance

Recently, it was reported that “Chairman Michael McCaul (R-TX) questioned how the country was going to prepare for their upcoming ‘widespread use’ [of drones] in his opening statement and warned that in 2 1/2 years drones will begin to ‘dominate skies’ in the U.S.”

Others predict that by 2020 more than 30,000 drones will spy on virtually every American home, business, farm, and ranch. The drones will be deployed by federal agencies, state goverments, countylaw enforcement, and by private entities (such as non-profit groups and corporations).

Some in Congress are calling for privacy to be protected from the rising drone fleet. According to Yahoo! News:

House members from both parties said at an oversight hearing that they’re worried about potential privacy and security threats as the use of small unmanned aircraft becomes widespread. The Federal Aviation Administration forecasts an estimated 10,000 civilian drones will be in use in the U.S. within five years.

Fiery legal authority, Judge Napolitano has proclaimed that the “first American to shoot down a drone will be an American hero.”

And the judge is right, to a point, because DHS will not consider that American a hero, but a terrorist. And the hero may spend the rest of his or her life in a federal lock-up.

We, the sheeple, will do what you say

as American heroes become federal suspects

DHS head, Janet Napolitano has let it be known that any American that stores too much food, talks about the U.S. Constitution too much, or praises the Founding Fathers too often is a potential terroristsuspect. Ex-military men and women are also potential suspects.

America in lockdown

Thus passes the glory of “The land of the free” as it mutates into a land governed by an unholy blend of 1984 newspeak politics and Brave New World bio-tracking and electronic surveillance technology.

Subcommittee Chairman Representatibe Michael McCaul’s opening statement at the Hearing on the Impact of UAVs in the Homeland:

Incidents such as the Aurora, Colorado shooting by a self-styled “Joker” that left at least 12 dead and dozens wounded will only accelerate the government’s stated goal to monitor everyone at all times.

The government is fearful of the people. The government has become paranoid. The government is slipping into an obsessive state of security. The potential terrorists are becoming the American people.

The irony is, with each step forward, the government of the land of the once free is mutating itself into the biggest terrorist organization in history.
